Does She or Doesn't She?

It's Friday, and I know you're all killing time until you can punch out.

So here are a couple of videos to give you and your co-workers something to talk about. This first one amazed me, but I can tell you that there is some question about whether we're seeing what we think we're seeing. You decide.

The lone woman in our office today thought we were idiots for spending so much time analyzing this video frame by frame. I guess it's a guy thing.

I also wanted to give you Episode 2 of "Chad Vader, Day Shift Manager." (If you want to see Episode 1, go back here, or go to youtube.com for whole series.) In contrast to the uplifting first episode, this one foreshadows Chad's tragic fall.

I'm sayin' no. She grazes the net from the outside. I just don't think that kid could fit through. Though she is holding her head at the end of it ... which could suggest that she knocked her head on the rim as she went through.

She goes through.
Put a ladder up to a backboard, take two regulation size basketballs, and drop them, side-by-side, through the basket. They'll fit.
The girl is tiny... narrower than the combined diameters of two balls, I'm sure. Plus, the basket in the video reacts in the same way it does when a ball swishes, not the way it does when the ball brushes against the net. Splash!
And finally, the guys react in precisely the manner in which guys react when they succeed in doing something really, really dumb. I know, I've seen it before.
My money says, "Nothing but net!".

She goes thru the basket. Scott's correct. The net moves just as one would think it ought to move if someone went through the basket. She is a very tiny woman/girl. And, as Scott points out, the men act just like one would expect them to act. They are either very good actors or this is real.

Are you guys insane? You think someone could throw that girl 20 feet in the air like that, where she does a FLIP and then falls through a basketball hoop? Man, you need to get out more. It's called "special effects" and done on "computers". Sheesh....there's 1000's more like this of all sorts of "miraculous" feats..all frauds....
